What is supplementary dental insurance (Zahnzusatzversicherung)?

It is a private add-on to your German health insurance that covers treatment beyond the basic benefits of the statutory health insurance – for example high-quality dentures, implants, ceramic fillings, professional teeth cleaning and orthodontics. Depending on the plan, up to 100 % of the costs are reimbursed.

Do I really need supplementary dental insurance?

For dentures, German statutory health insurance only pays a fixed subsidy (Festzuschuss) – usually around 60–75 % of the standard treatment. With implants or ceramic crowns, you can easily be left with several thousand euros to pay yourself. Supplementary dental insurance closes this gap.

What does supplementary dental insurance cover?

That depends on the plan. Typical areas are dentures (crowns, bridges, implants, prostheses), dental treatment (fillings, root canal treatment), professional cleaning and prevention, and orthodontics. Premium plans reimburse up to 100 % in all areas.

At what age does it make sense?

The younger you are when you take out a policy, the lower the monthly premium. It is worth considering as a young adult, but also at 50+, when expensive dentures become more common.

What is a waiting period?

Many plans have a waiting period of 3 to 8 months before you can claim benefits. Treatment during this time is not reimbursed. There are also plans without a waiting period – particularly interesting if treatment is already foreseeable.

How much does it cost per month?

Premiums depend on your age, the plan and the level of cover. Young adults get good cover from around €5–15 per month. Comprehensive premium plans cost around €20–50 per month, depending on age.

Can I use ZahnzusatzPlus if I do not live in Germany?

No. We only advise customers who live in Germany and have German health insurance (statutory or private). The plans we compare are German supplementary dental insurance policies, which require a residence in Germany. If you have recently moved to Germany, we are happy to help you.

Do you advise in English?

Our website is available in English so you can understand how supplementary dental insurance works in Germany. Please note that insurance contracts and policy documents are issued in German by the insurers.
